[-empyre-] Re: [-empire-] following
Of course not, women are not alone in the world and environmental culture is
at work. But really, I do not know that a man would have never produced the
theory of liberation of women but women to women... Th beginning of this
claim was political : on the citizenship (EN: Sufragettes) the question of
the right of vote, more on intellectual capacity it was the work "The second
sex" which ruled once for all.. It was the book which meade the success of
Simone de Beauvoir in the USA (where she met Nelson Algreen and falling in
love - the book "a walk in the wild side" - which title inspîred Lou
Reed'song -is dedicated to Simone de Beauvoir)
What I explain is not my opinion, it is information. Because I am not
feminist in the sense I write ; I have left the femnist group in Paris at
the moment they pushed out the men. Hetero were in conquest of power, and
homo were suffering. The question was not not equality. (in this moment)
Imagine: I was married since several years more I had a son, then more sons!
Imagine that I could not get out men of my life !
If there are feminists among us who knows the story and this claiming, they
know perfectly well this situation. And Christina has quoted other women as
Butler.
Deleuze has nothing to see with French feminism reborning in the seventies
just he agreed ; if someone helped more it is Guattari (equally from
outside) from outside.
But in progressive militantism the tradition is that never successful revolt
can come from who is not directly concerned. Can be war of liberation (Viet
Nam, Algeria whatever the help of FR communists) can be social evolution,
can be proletariat, and so on. It was exactly the question of establishment
of intellectuals in industrial factories or agriculture in the cultural
revolution.
For example: see how it would be very suspect that men walk with female
prostitute for their rights: may be their procurers?
and so on..
Women has always claimed the intellectual advantage in the theory from their
own part.
